We already have pedagogometers (albeit flawed ones) in the form of standardized tests. The calibration is generally the main problem. Pedagogy is like education, except requiring more Greek.

I'll have to start talking trash about them and revealing confidential information, I'm sure that'll smoke 'em out of the woodwork.

More importantly, how do you convert it into volts, amps, or some other measurable quantity? Assuming that you're teaching the lab part of the course (the traditional use for grad students), you guys should build a pedogometer, calibrate it, and measure some geologically meaningful localities. On a more serious note, mind sharing any of those actually useful discipline-specific tricks? What TF is pedagogy and what does it have to do with Earth science?
